Beginning in June, the new series RIDLEY is putting a unique spin on the classic crime-solving drama, inspired by real-life former detectives, and starring Adrian Dunbar as the retired charismatic Detective Inspector. Then, PBS welcomes back ENDEAVOUR ON MASTERPIECE for the gripping final season, which will also see a few familiar faces return from the show&#8217;s past eight seasons. July brings an explosive new season of the popular series GRANTCHESTER ON MASTERPIECE, in an exploration of faith, forgiveness, and redemption, followed by the debut of new mystery thriller D.I.

Rachita Ray, a British-Asian police officer new to homicide, is assigned to investigate the suspected honor killing of a young Muslim man, she quickly realizes the suspects can&#8217;t be guilty. The evidence against the two brothers from a British Hindu family is flimsy at best. Her attempts at conveying this to her superiors and colleagues are ignored. Hidden biases and a keenness to wrap the case up mean no one is listening to her until her probing leads the team to a much more sinister crime. In this four-part drama, D.I. Ray goes on a journey that sees her uncover a complex web of deceit within organized crime while laying bare the wounds deep within herself that she has spent a lifetime ignoring.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New Series RIDLEY and D.I.
